The Department Examination has decided to withhold the release of the results of two Advanced Level students who brought mobile phones to the examination hall.

The action was taken against a student of Batticaloa Kottai Nallur Maha Vidyalaya and another one of Kalmunai Al Mathar Central College.

At the same time, the hall examiner in charge of the Kalmunai Al Mathar Central College has also been removed from duty.

Meanwhile, the Examination Department stated that information has been revealed about a student of a girls’ school in Gampaha who released an altered Advanced Level examination paper to a social media website.

Examination Commissioner General W.M.N.J. Pushpakumara stated that legal action would be taken against the girl in future, despite her apology.
